It looks like you haven't closed one of your if statements:

In appClasses.rb,

def setFromNativeRef!(nativeRef)
    md=/\D+/.match(nativeRef)
    if (!md)   <---------------- This if does not have a corresponding end
      raise 'Invalid cell reference :'+nativeRef
    colStr=md[0].upcase
    if colStr.length==2 
      high=colStr[0]-65
      low=colStr[1]-65
      @col=high*26+low    
    else
      @col=colStr[0]-65          
    end
    @col=md[0]
    @row=md.post_match 
    self
  end

If you want to use a single line if statement, use this:

raise 'Invalid cell reference :'+nativeRef if (!md)
